A tiny house has come up for sale in Greater Manchester that is far below the average price - and size - of a standard terraced home. The one-bed property is on the market in Littleborough, Rochdale and is set to go to auction on March 22 with a guide price of £60,000.
The average price of a terraced home in the Rochdale town, which is nestled in the foothills of the picturesque south Pennines, is £166,922 according to Zoopla, therefore this house is much more affordable and a good option for a solo first-time buyer or investor.
But the cheap cost means you'll need to be prepared settle for a fairly limited space, with the property being made up of just a one-up, one-down layout which lacks a proper bedroom.

From the outside the mid-terraced home is noticeably narrow in comparison to a typical terraced home as it appears to be wedged next to a property of a similar size.
The ground floor of the home is 15 square metres and consists of a kitchen area, fitted with a range of wall and base units with space for a small dining table, a bathroom with a walk in shower, and doors from the kitchen leading out into a small communal outdoor area.
Upstairs there is a small landing which leads into the first floor room, a 12 square metre lounge with a window to the front, with stairs to access a mezzanine level floor above it, which is where the bedroom is.
The bedroom is less than 6 square metres and currently fits just a bed, a bedside table and overhead drawers.
The Zoopla listing for the home on Hare Hill Road reads: "Situated in the heart of Littleborough within walking distance of local shops and the train station providing direct access to both Manchester and Leeds city centres offers this mezzanine one bedroom mid terrace property.
"An ideal investment, this property comprises of an open plan dining kitchen and shower room to the ground floor. The first floor offers a lounge and mezzanine level bedroom above.
"Fitted with a combi boiler and double glazed windows. This property is offered with no onward chain. Accessed from Regent Street around the back of the shops."
The property is up for sale via a traditional auction method with a guide price £60,000. Bidding closes on March 22 at 3pm.
The listing adds: "The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
